Before winning the show, I was working with about 75 farmers in my oil processing plant. Right now, we are scaling our support to about 250 farmers and also introducing our palm oil product to the Lagos market and other parts of the country. We are also planning on exporting the product to other international markets too and have started building our own processing plant with the support gotten the show.”

I also want to urge the winner to make good use of the prize money in order to make us all proud,” he explained.
